python-dev Summary for 2003-01-16 through 2003-01-31

python-dev Summary for 2003-01-16 through 2003-01-31
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

This is a summary of traffic on the `python-dev mailing list`_ from
January 16, 2003 to January 31, 2003.  It is intended to inform the
wider Python community of on-going developments on the list that might
be of interest.  To comment on anything mentioned here, just post to
python-list <at> python.org or comp.lang.python with subject line
delineating what you discussing. All python-dev members are interested
in seeing ideas discussed by the community, so don't hesitate to take
a stance on something.  And if all of this really interests you then
get involved and join python-dev!

This is the tenth summary written by Brett Cannon (double digits,
baby!).

All summaries are archived at http://www.python.org/dev/summary/ .

Please note that this summary is written using reStructuredText_ which
can be found at http://docutils.sf.net/rst.html .  Any unfamiliar
punctuation is probably markup for reST_; you can safely ignore it
(although I suggest learning reST; its simple and is accepted for PEP
markup).  Also, because of the wonders of programs that like to
reformat text, I cannot guarantee you will be able to run the text
version of this summary through Docutils_ as-is unless it is from the
original text file.

[Ann] ctypes 0.4.0 released

I've just released ctypes 0.4.0.

Homepage http://starship.python.net/crew/theller/ctypes.html

-----

ctypes is a module allowing to create and manipulate C data types in
Python. These can then be passed to C-functions loaded from dynamic
link libraries.

This module is supposed to be a greatly enhanced and much more
complete replacement of Sam Rushing's calldll/npstruct/windll
modules. ctypes is not based on Sam's work, it has different roots.

It requires Python 2.2 or higher, since it makes intensive use of the
new type system.

ctypes runs on Windows, Linux, and MacOS X (and maybe on other systems
as well).

For all platforms except Windows you'll need a recent version of
libffi which supports your processor.  Ronald Oussoren has kindly
assembled a snapshot of libffi taken from the GCC CVS repository which
works with this release, it is available for download from the ctypes
download page
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=71702.

ANN: python-fam 1.0.2

Hi!

Python FAM is the interface to the File Alteration Monitor for Python.

[ANN] python-pysqldb 0.6 released

pysqldb
-------

PySQLdb is a SQL middleware layer for programmers.

it provides functions and classes that help programmers
construct SQL queries, and access SQL databases.

presently supported are MySQL (via andy dustman's python-mysqldb)
and MS-SQL 2000 (via the MS-SQL 2000 XML interface using the rather
stupidly named pyxsqmll package at http://sf.net/projects/pyxsqmll).

after writing four SQL database applications in python and
looking for the fifth, it gets _real_ boring to mash out 15,000
lines of code each time.

pysqlgen
--------

alongside pysqldb is two programs, pysqlgen and pysqlhtmlgen,
which auto-generate code compatible with pysqldb - DIRECTLY
from a mysql dump file.

it's a bit clunky but it gives you a massive head-start on
developing your python SQL application: if you already have
your SQL file designed, pysqlgen cuts your development time
down from days to minutes.

if you don't like the style of the code so generated, it's
a simple enough job to hack the pysqlgen principle so it

extremely light, all python, XML parser

I've written a very small non-validating XML parser. The parser and 
print routines are written completely in python and require no C 
compilation. It does not follow the DOM or SAX interfaces but instead 
produces a simple list or rather list hierarchy of the XML file or 
string. This module, xmlite, is useful for simple XML files such as 
those used for configuration.

This is my first python code but the code has been tested. Can anyone 
tell me how to make the module available to others?

[ANN] Pyblosxom 0.6

pyblosxom is a CGI-based Weblog program written in Python. It uses 
ordinary text files as your entries, and in addition to the features of 
blosxom, on which it is based, it can be easily extended with 
preformatters and plugins.

This release includes the following changes (listed in no
particular order):
  * In addition to flavour overrides, we now have
    configuration overrides with flavours.
  * Better documentation available at the
    [http://wiki.subtlehints.net/moin/PyBlosxom Wiki Site]
  * Change XML content-type detection for content-type
    other than just text/xml
  * Plugins, from simple `$templateVariables` type to
    CallbackChains type
  * Lot's of new features available just by dropping in plugins
  * Weblogs.com and blo.gs pings available with plugins
  * Conditional HTTP is now a plugin

Fixes:
  * Fixed directory recursions
  * Fixed entry display by category to honor num_entries
  * Example flavours fixes

Pre-announce: PyCon registration

I'll post again when we have the form set up, but I figure people ought
to know now what the costs and dates will be:

$150	through Feb 28
$200	through Mar 15
$250	at the door

We'll take charge and checks for pre-reg; cash and charge at the door.

The pre-con sprint is still not settled, but will cost around $30-50.

PyCon

   PyCon is a community-oriented Python conference emphasizing
   accessibility and low cost. It is designed to complement the
   International Python Conference (IPC), which will be a track at the
   O'Reilly Open Source Convention (OSCON) starting in 2003.

PyCon DC 2003

   The first PyCon will be held 26-28 March, 2003, at George Washington
   University's Cafritz Conference Center in Washington DC. There will be
   a development sprint Mon/Tues before the conference.

As always, current info is available at http://www.python.org/pycon/
